President of ESPN Resigns, Cites Substance Abuse
ESPN President John Skipper abruptly announced his resignation Monday morning, citing an unspecified substance addiction problem. “Today I have resigned from my duties as President of ESPN,” he wrote in a statement published to ESPN’s PR website. “I have struggled for many years with a substance addiction. I have decided that the most important thing I can do right now is to take care of my problem. I have disclosed that decision to the company, and we mutually agreed that it was appropriate that I resign.” Skipper added: “I come to this public disclosure with embarrassment, trepidation and a feeling of having let others I care about down. As I deal with this issue and what it means to me and my family, I ask for appropriate privacy and a little understanding.”

Sooner or later, everyone in public view will confess to something.
Then the confessions will become worthless as they will be commonplace.
ESPN has become a liberal activist network with all the business foresight of Blockbuster and Toys R Us. In a few years they will be another relic on the cable age.
Really? So the fact that ESPN regularly or suspends liberals even when they are not representing ESPN is lost on you right?
Are you kidding?! The closest thing to ESPN is Fox Sports 1 and it's hardly made a dent in the ratings despite the fact that they have hired a lot of names from ESPN.....as long as Disney has the reins, those thought process about ESPN being going the way of the dinosaur is delusional!
ESPN wouldn't have to suspend its hosts if they didn't have a culture behind the scenes that promotes a far left agenda. Sports should be about sports, not promoting discredited lies about cops and the criminals they deal with.
Yeah...keep telling yourself that!
Where have you been for the last 50 years?!....Comedy! Btw Walter Scott's family would probably be proud of sports bringing that to light!
How about Mike Browns family? Oh right- they're too busy blowing through the money they got and thanking God every day they had a son too stupid to know how not to give cops every right to shoot him.
Presumably he has millions of dollars with which to "deal with" his substance abuse issues.
